Okay, there's a lot of tabs on here which require a capo, so I thought I'd try my
first guitar tab. It seems pretty accurate, sounds good,
and they're also the chords that Ellie uses when she plays Lights live.
Chords:
[G#5] [F#5] [E] [C#5]
e---
[B---]
[G--2] [G--6]
D--6 D--4 D--2 D--6
A--6 A--4 A--1 A--4
E--4 E--2 E--- E--X
Intro: (count in barrs of 4, and then change. So G#5 1 2 3 4, change etc)
G#5 F#5 E C#5 x2
Verse:
I h[G#5]ad a way the[F#5]n losing it [E]all on my own[C#5]
I had [G#5]a heart then[F#5], but the Queen has bee[E]n overthr[C#5]own
And I[G#5]'m not sleeping no[F#5]w, the dark i[E]s too hard to[C#5] beat
And [G#5]I'm not keeping n[F#5]ow, the str[E]ength I need to [C#5]push me
Chorus:
You show the [G#5]lights that stop me, [F#5]turn to stone
You s[E]hine it when I'm [C#5]alone
And so I [G#5]tell myself that [F#5]I'll be strong
And d[E]reaming when they're [C#5]gone
'Cause they're [G#5]calling, calling, [F#5]calling me home
[E]Calling, calling, [C#5]calling home
You show the [G#5]lights that stop me [F#5]turn to stone
You s[E]hine them when I'm[C#5] alone
(Home)
Verse 2:
[G#5]Noises, I [F#5]play wit[E]hin my h[C#5]ead
Touch m[G#5]y own skin,[F#5] and hope that I'm[E] still breath[C#5]ing
And [G#5]I think back to w[F#5]hen, my b[E]rother and my s[C#5]ister slept
[G#5]In an unlocked [F#5]place, the on[E]ly time I [C#5]feel safe
Chorus:
You show the [G#5]lights that stop me, [F#5]turn to stone
You s[E]hine it when I'm [C#5]alone
And so I [G#5]tell myself that [F#5]I'll be strong
And d[E]reaming when they're [C#5]gone
'Cause they're [G#5]calling, calling, [F#5]calling me home
[E]Calling, calling, [C#5]calling home
You show the [G#5]lights that stop me [F#5]turn to stone
You s[E]hine them when I'm[C#5] alone
(Home)
[G#5]Lights, Lights, [F#5]Lights, Lights
[E]Lights, Lights, [C#5]Lights, Lights
The rest of the song follows the same pattern. Get out there and download Lights,
let's get it to number one for the amazing Goulding. :)
Thanks.
